Picked this tach up at a local antique store purely because it was a vdo tach, but I can't seem to figure out what it's for. I think I deciphered the stamping on the back to mean "2 cylinder 4 stroke". So it must be some sort of motor cycle tach? It's dated 7/63, but I've never seen a motorcycle from that time period with such a huge tach? I was hoping to use it in a bay window but have yet to measure the size. Thanks for any info in advance!
